How *I* would like to change the country, well at least a little bit.

Foreign Policy:

*Europe*
+ Join euro if and only if the currency provides the UK economic benefits.
+ Play a bigger role in Europe. Geographically we are in Europe thus we need to take a part in the European parliament to ensure we are represented

*Rest of the world*
+ Work more closely with China and the Far East - up and coming economic powers
+ Support the development of democracy across in a non violent capacity

Home Issues:

Education:

+ Computer recycling scheme. Old computers are bought at a low price from residential and business users who are upgrading. These are then rented (or given to the financially poorest) to allow them to improve knowledge. To enable this to be viable a LINUX distribution will be used as the OS for the computer, inc. software such as OpenOffice.org - allowing all access to basic computing functions such as word processing, email, and internet browsing.
+ Higher education (A/S and A Levels) revised.
+ Apprenticeship schemes for the underachievers at GCSE level, in practical subjects such as mechanics.
+ Increased subsidy of mobile libraries.
+ Scrap university fees for all students whose parents earn less than £50k pa, those above this bracket pay no more than £1500 pa
+ Introduce a graduate tax for any graduate who earns over the mean average wage, to pay for the scrapping of university fees.
+ Separate degree structure so that academic courses are separate from vocational courses
+ Introduce more variety of sports into physical education lessons
+ Introduce foreign language study at aged 9 rather than aged 11
+ Compulsory drug education at secondary level.

Green Issues: 

+ More public transport: electric trains, trams and buses provided in more cities
Expand Metrolink in South and East Manchester; conduct a survey into the northerly extension via different route. Expand the Croydon tramlink. 
Pilot trolley bus schemes in Manchester, Leeds, and Bristol. On evaluation of these schemes new schemes will be proposed in London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Sheffield, Derby and Wolverhampton.
Electrification of the Midland Main Line (London  Leeds via Sheffield), Great Western Main Line (London  Cardiff/Swansea), and Transpennine Routes (Holyhead  Crewe/Warrington, Liverpool  Manchester via Warrington, Manchester  Leeds, Leeds  York, York  Scarborough).
+ Promotion of electric cars
+ Better Recycling (i.e. washing glass bottles for reuse rather than smashing them and melting them into new glass)
+ Diversify energy creation - less coal / gas power station, more hydro-electric, wind, and some new nuclear
+ Reduce the number of new roads built, but increase spending on road renewal. Better quality roads  cars use less fuel. Prohibit the lane expansion of motorways past 5 lane / carriageway.

Trade and Industry:

+ Rail privatisation changed so that the industry is vertically integrated, and also the competition rules relaxed.
+ Encourage fiscal industry to spread across many of the country rather than concentrate in London.

Taxation:
+ Raise the threshold for stamp duty on first houses for all buyers
+ Lower the threshold for stamp duty on all second (or above) houses
+ First time buyers pay even less stamp duty
+ Change the income tax structure so those high earners pay more, low earners pay less
+ Council tax based on house value scrapped and replaced by an income based tax
+ Value added tax maintained
+ Tax increased marginally on cigarettes and tobacco products
+ Tax increased marginally on alcohol

Health:

+ Increased spending on NHS
+ Prohibit the closure of hospital facilities unless very strict health criteria are met.
+ Increase the number of NHS dentists
+ Full study into the effects of fluorine in the water supply
+ Hospital cleaning managed in house rather than by contractors
+ Public houses are required to provide specific ventilated SMOKING areas. All other areas are designated non-smoking.
+ Enforcement of no smoking laws relating to public places (including public transport)
+ Increase research into cancer, and AIDS via university and research hospitals
+ Standardise the law on sex and pornography.
+ Educate all secondary school children about sex to reduce teenage pregnancy
+ Legalise cannabis but restrict its use to private property. Only to be sold in specially licensed premises.
+ Debate euthanasia

Governmental:

+ Increased transparency of the political process
+ Prime ministers conduct of code strictly adhered to (!)
+ Proportional representation for the House of Commons
+ House of Lords elected by first past the post system. Around 300 elected members.

Immigration:

+ Maintain the number of professional immigrants; though attempt to source more dentists to lower the current shortage
+ Accept asylum seekers from un-democratic countries where they are in danger of death and/or serious injury
+ Improve the rate of detection and deportation for illegal asylum seekers
+ Attempt to integrate immigrants into society better, by providing English language courses for all, education for minors, and paid work (though tax deductible).

Crime and Punishment:

+ More community sentences for lesser crimes in conjunction with a fine:
Litter louts spend 4 weekends collecting litter;
Graffiti artists are made to clean up graffiti;
Wherever possible vandals are put on schemes to learn how to fix whatever they break, and then fix it
+ Separation of government and the judicial processes. The home secretary is not allowed to overrule a judge regarding sentencing at any point.
+ Prison reform. Prisoners are allowed less luxuries (e.g. games consoles, televisions) but are given more education within the prison service. Offenders such as career burglars should be given a skill so that they can be reintegrated into society after their release so that they can change career.
+ After prison care needs to be managed more effectively in order to reduce the number of people who spend their lives in a cycle of crime.
